AGHAVILLER
"Aghaviller", or Aughaviller, a
parish in the barony of Knocktopher, county of
Kilkenny, and province of Leinster, 3 miles (S. W.) from Knocktpoher, on the
road from Kilkenny to Carrick-on-Suir; containing 1887 inhabitants. The
farm-houses, being well built and slated, present a neat and comfortable
appearance; there is a good freestone quarry in the parish. Castle Morres,
the splendid mansion of Harvey de Montmorency, Esq., occupies an elevated
site, and has been recently enlarged and improved. Three fairs, called "the
fairs of Harvey," are held at Hugginstown. The parish is in the diocese of
Ossory, and is a rectory and a vicarage, forming part of the union of
Knocktopher. In the R.C. divisions also it is included within the union of
Knocktopher, or
Ballyhale; it contains two chapels, situated respectively
at Newmarket
and Hugginstown;
in the former is held a Sunday school. Near
Castle Morres, within a few yards of the site of the old church, is the
lower part of an ancient round tower of breccia, measuring 50 feet in
circumference above the base.
